Robert Burns Dinner and Dance

Robert Burns

In Dallas, the Daughters of Caledonia (many of whom are members of The Scottish Society of Dallas) sponsor a formal dinner and dance which is usually held on the third Saturday of January. The evening typically features a lively recitation of Burn's "Address to the Haggis"; live pipe band music provided by the North Texas Caledonian Pipes & Drums; and demonstrations of Highland dancing by the Dallas Highland Dancers, under the direction of Fiona Alpaugh. The evening concludes with dancing (a variety of music is provided for all ages) including an opportunity for guests to try their hand at traditional, Scottish Country Dances!

The event is generally held at the Richardson Hotel (Campbell Road, just east of Central Expressway/US-75) in Richardson, Texas. Specific details about next year's event will be posted (at this same location) in late November of this year.

So make plans to join the Daughters next January, to celebrate the life and poetry of Robert Burns!
